D. Nature of Injury/Disease ClassificationF. TRAUMATIC JOINT/LIGAMENT AND MUSCLE/TENDON INJURY (continued)F3. Residual soft tissue disorders due to trauma or unknown mechanisms239 Soft tissue injuries due to trauma or unknown mechanisms with insufficientinformation to code elsewhereNotes:This category should only be used when all other appropriate categories have beenconsidered. only claims with insufficient information are expected to be coded tothis category, and further information should be sought for these claims wheneverpossible.This category includes conditions recorded as ‘soft tissue injuries’ (or similar - i.e.due to trauma) but for which source documents provide insufficient detail that wouldallow the injury to be allocated to another specific category. These injuries mayinvolve joints, ligaments, muscles or tendons. It also covers soft tissue conditionsfor which there is not enough information that would allow the condition to beallocated to another specific category AND for which the source documents don’tprovide enough information to determine whether the condition was due to traumaor not. A similar approach has been taken for non-traumatic soft tissue conditionswithout further information (to be allocated to code 579).Includes:! Acute soft tissue diseases without enough information to code to a specificinjury category.! Back injury (if no other information given)! Back sprain/strain (if no other information given)! Diseases identified as ‘soft tissue’ or similar but without enough information toidentify whether they were due to acute trauma or not, and without enoughinformation to code to a specific injury or disease category.Excludes:! Non-traumatic soft tissue conditions without other information that would allowthe disease to be allocated to a specific category (code to 579).46 National Occupational Health and Safety Commission
D. Nature of Injury/Disease ClassificationG. OTHER INJURIES301 Foreign body on external eye, in ear or nose or in respiratory, digestive orreproductive tractIncludes:! Asphyxiation due to inhalation of food or foreign body (choking)! Inflammation of eye due to liquid splash but not burn! Perforated eardrum due to foreign body! Scratch on the eye that results from a foreign body! StrangulationExcludes:! Asphyxiation/poisoning due to carbon monoxide, other gases, fumes andvapours (code to 302)! Asphyxiation due to external compression of airway (code to 319)! Drowning/non-fatal submersion (code to 319)! Foreign body in open wound (code to 149)! Foreign body with superficial injury (code to 159)! Perforated eardrum due to explosion or air pressure effects (code to 312)302 Poisoning and toxic effects of substancesNotes:The bodily location codes for toxic effects of carbon monoxide etc are throat, lung orrespiratory system. For bee stings, spider and snake bites, code to the affectedbodily location. If the whole body is affected by poison, use location code 780(Other and multiple systemic conditions).Includes:! Asphyxiation/poisoning due to carbon monoxide, other gases, fumes andvapours! Venomous spider/insect/scorpion bite or sting! Venomous snake/sea creature bite or stingExcludes:! Asphyxiation due to external compression of airway (code to 319)! Asphyxiation due to inhalation of food or foreign body (choking) (code to 301)! Asthma (code to 781)! Dermatitis (code to 741 or 742)! Eczema (code to 741 or 742)311 Electrocution, shock from electric currentExcludes:! Electrical burn (code to 171)! Electric shock due to lightning (code to 319)312 Traumatic deafness from air pressure or explosionIncludes:!
